The way we have been scheduling meets doesn't seem to work. I'm of the opinion that the more meets we have (regardless of the size of said meets), the better they will begin to be. As it is, our meets or so seldom that there is so much pressure that they all be "Great," that they cannot possibly live up to people's desires.. and they therefore don't feel like coming to the next one.
Here's a wacky idea... Why don't we just schedule meets like this... The person who has the original idea should give a date and place.. and then people could either arrive, or not. If you know you will make it, let others know... If you can't make it, let people know..
I think that this style of meet will take a lot of pressure off of everyone, and also will get people together more often. True, it will also mean that the meets are smaller...BUT... we can always plan a larger meet every 3 months or so... What say you?
Cheers,
Tom
